Claims11
A method for packaging plasters comprising:
- in a first step enclosing, said plasters between two opposite flexible sheets, at least one of which has thermally-activated adhesive on its surface facing the other sheet,
- in a second step, distinct and separate from said first step, compressing said sheets to fix said sheets together around said plasters by means of said thermally-activated adhesive, and
- carrying out a preliminary heating of at least one of said sheets before compressing said sheets and a final heating of said at least one of said sheets simultaneously to compressing said sheets.
An apparatus for packaging plasters comprising:
- an overlapping unit configured to apply two flexible sheets on opposite sides of said plasters, so as to enclose said plasters between said sheets,
- a compression unit distinct and separate from said overlapping unit and configured to compress said sheets at compression areas, and
- a preliminary heating unit configured for heating at least one of said sheets before compressing said sheets and a final heating unit configured for heating at least one of said sheets at said compression unit.
